What would the repukes have to say about an Iraqi using his personal experiences with "enhanced interrogations" under the authority of Georgie Bush using similar pomp and pulling of heartstrings that the entire night of the RNC used? Baring every detail of his endless days of abuse at the ruthless hands of the US Army in hopes of winning the sympathy vote. Except that in cotrast to McCain admitting to dropping bombs on the Vietnamese this person never admitted to or was charged with any crime against the USA or proven guilty in a military trial.

This crowd still believes that the economy is strong and the invasion of Iraq improved our image and made us safer. It never even occurred to them that they were cheering a Prez who allowed one more major terrorist attack than the previous 42 combined. I am left with only one possible conclusion. In order to serve as a delegate to the GOP convention one must be congenitally insane or lobotomized during adolescence. Their perception of reality is faulty to an extreme. Since there is no logic, compassion, or reason to which rational people may appeal? They will remain dangerous until they are utterly broken as a political force. Thank Jebus they just don't know when to STFU. What I found most telling was the wild exuberance displayed during Laura Bush’s intro.
